Confluence fails to setup

unknown

I am running Confluence on RedHat 7.4
Everything I try to get it running is failing because of various Java errors.
The most common one is, that whilst Confluence is preparing the database (postgreSQL with fitting database connector and supported version) it crashes and gives an error, regarding decorators.

The error is as follows:

All of the files and folders are there and have the right permissions.
I set the JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME right and checked ../../WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties for maybe wrong pathes.

The decorators folder is there and the files are not empty and accessable by the owner of the file confluence.

I tried nearly everything, said by the troubleshooting and am now pretty hopeless, that confluence would run anytimes on this machine

Anyone else with this problem?

Hi Lukas,

It seems like you might be running into this issue:

Confluence does not start due to Spring Application context has not been set

We can't tell for sure because the message you sent us seems to be missing the error message, and we're only seeing the cause. However, there are 10 causes and resolutions listed on that page that tend to resolve issues similar to this.

I would recommend reviewing the article throughly and let us know if it helps you.

If not, can you let me know what the error message is before the "caused by" section? You can check your Confluence server application logs in order to get the full stack trace.

If you run through all 10 resolutions and it doesn't help, can you confirm your Confluence, JAVA, and Postgres versions? It will help us to troubleshoot.

Thank you!
Regards,

Shannon

Now I've run all 10 resolutions and I'm still facing the exact same problem.

I am using the bundled JRE, Confluence 6.12.2 and Postgres 9.6 (tested with bundled driver and with manually installed driver).

My OS is a RedHat 7.5 machine with SELinux disabled.

Thank you for confirming, Lukas,

Were you able to find the error log messages from my previous response? That way we can see what specifically is causing this issue.

Also, can you let us know what might have been done on your Confluence instance prior to the last time you started it up? Is this a new installation?

Regards,

Shannon

Hello Shannon,

after restarting Confluence the error message, you said was popping up, accessing the base URL.

At first. This is a new installation of Confluence for evaluation purposes. We have an installation on Windows that is working but we want to move on to Linux so I tried to install a fresh Linux maschine, booted it up, got the Installer and installed Confluence. I did not yet start it, because the rights of the folders where not properly set. I did according to the Link as you sent it to me and started Confluence. The Setup Wizard came up as it has to be. I clicked through, putting in our Corporate License and moved to database setup. Connection an drivers for our postgres instance are properly setup and Confluence creates all the necessary tables. After that the error occurs and the installer breaks down into the decorator not set up error, which is featured in the "cause" section of the error screen.

Welcome!
